FIGURE 1 in Re-discovery of the type material of Leptoseris fragilis (Cnidaria, Anthozoa Scleractinia) from the upper mesophotic in La Réunion, a taxonomic puzzle

FIGURE 1. The Leptoseris fragilis type material puzzle; a Plate 29 (partim) by Rousseau (1854) in which the largest specimen was appended as 1 (dashed grey line), while drawings of smaller specimens and radial elements (r.e.) details by 1a-e and 1f-h, respectively. The original codes were re-drawn with larger font size for readability. Additionally, the multiple coralla on 1 (di) are here appended as 1i-l (in bold); b MNHN468 (later re-catalogued as MNHN-IK-2010-494), 1 in a; c MNHN470, four Cycloseris wellsi specimens bearing the tags of the L. fragilis holotype by multiple hands, including Chevalier's (J.P.C.). The smaller are juveniles and correspond to the 1b, 1d-e in a, the largest, absent from b, has the typical species morphology (inset, see Benzoni et al., 2016: Fig. 6); d specimen 1 in a and b. The biogenic block is substrate for three Leptoseris (1i-j, l) and one antipatharian (1k); e specimen 1l; f detail of 1l; g detail of 1l; h specimen 1i; i specimens 1j (left) and 1l (right). Grey arrows point to central protocorallite (red *) and secondary corallites (turquoise *); dashed blue rectangles (larger side is 10mm) show the corallum surface where r.e. counts were performed.
